The latest mail advices from Honolulu re-

eruption of Mauna Loa. It began on Janu.
airy 10th, when column of fire shot up from
the south crater. Two days afterwards earth
quake shocks kept the whole district around
the volcano In tremglous and violent motion, |
and three great rivers of molten lava broke |
from the mountain and flowed towards the |
sea, wiping out houses and plantations in |
their course. No loss of life is reported, as |

A feature Of the election is the reported in
crease of the socialist vote, which in certain
cities is said to have been very large. In
many districts new elections will be required
owing to indecsive contests. The effect of
the triumph of the 'septennists" can hardly
fail to be very great. Not only Is an increase

for its support for the period of seven years,

The investigation of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad horror, near Thin, Ohio, end
ed on Saturday. The coroner's report says,
That freight engine No. 20 was in an unsafe
and unserviceable condition, and that the
officials of the road had been notified of this
fact, but still allowed it to be used The en-
giqser ef the freight train, Edward S. Killer,
was not iEtorioatel, as charged, but was worn
out with sixteen hours and fifty minutes 9qn-
tinuous duty, with green fireman and poor
engine, The verdict also finds that the con-
ductor of the freight train, Fletcher, failed in
his duty for not tagging the limited express,
for he knew the engine had died ten minutes
before the express was due. The brakes on
the express were inferior and ineffective, for
they failed TO diminish speed Of forty three
miles an hour, more than one-half in II dis
lance of 1000 feet. The manner Of heating
and lighting the cars of the express train was
inferior, lpSste and dangerous, and contrary
10 the laws Of the State &c Chic; Had the
lighting and heating been proper the cars
would not have burned and the loss Of life
wopld baye been very light.
